The album includes one live track ("Third from the Sun", a [[Chrome (band)|Chrome]] cover) recorded at [[CBGB's]] in New York City in 1989. [[Pushead|Brian "Pushead" Schroeder]] did the design and cover artwork for the album. Part of the song "Lost and Found" was used for commercial breaks of [[MTV]]'s ''[[Headbangers Ball]]'' in the early 1990s.
